Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once completely melted, add the entire package of marshmallows.
- Stir the marshmallows continuously with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they melt evenly and do not burn. Keep the heat on low and continue stirring until the marshmallows are completely smooth and fully incorporated with the butter.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and immediately add the Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk, dark, and white chocolate chips separately, stirring every 15-20 seconds to prevent burning.
- Transfer the marshmallow-cereal mixture into the prepared pan, using the spatula to spread it evenly and press it down gently.
- Drizzle the melted milk, dark, and white chocolate chips over the top of the treats in a decorative pattern. Use a toothpick or skewer to create swirl designs if desired.
- Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting.
- Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the treats out of the pan. Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife.
- Serve and enjoy the Triple Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- • For the smoothest marshmallow mixture, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and keep the heat low to prevent burning. • Melt chocolate chips separately to ensure each type maintains its distinct flavor and prevents color mixing. • Use a silicone spatula for easy mixing and minimal sticking. • Let the treats cool completely before cutting for clean, precise squares. • For extra decadence, try using different chocolate chip varieties like semi-sweet or flavored chips. • Line your pan with parchment paper for effortless removal and easy cleanup. • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the treats from becoming too hard. • For a fun variation, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the chocolate drizzle for a gourmet touch.
